Mainly cloudy weather with a couple light showers for the last day of February!


Cloudy conditions prevail this morning with temperatures at 6:15AM are near 40 degrees. The main low pressure that dumped more than an inch of rain yesterday has moved to our north but an upper level low over us will continue rather cloudy skies with a few light showers or sprinkles during the day, inland some of the showers will have a few flakes mixing in with the rain, high temperatures will be above normal reaching around 50 degrees.
More in the way of sunshine on Friday with temperatures still a little above normal.
Dry on the weekend into early next week but temperatures will cool off to below normal readings for the first part of March..
Still watching for a possible storm next Wednesday or Thursday, the European model now has this system moving to our south and just brushing our area while the American model has the system even further to our south. This situation is still a week away and it is something to keep an eye on.

The forecast: Today – Cloudy with a chance of showers, high near 50.
Tonight – Mostly cloudy, low in the low 30s.
Friday – Partly sunny, high in the upper 40s.
Saturday – Mostly sunny, high in the mid 40s.
Sunday – Mostly cloudy, high in the low 40s.
Monday – Partly sunny, high in the low 40s.
Tuesday – Mostly sunny, high in the mid 40s.
Wednesday – Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain or snow, high in the low 40s.

Marine Forecast:: Small craft advisory till 4PM, west wind gusting to 20 knots seas up to 7 feet.
Outlook – Seas and winds will be near or just above small craft advisory levels Friday through Tuesday.

Enjoy this last day of February 2013!!

Rain ending by noon today with mild temperatures!


Low pressure now over southern New Jersey will move through our area this morning, rain from this system should end by noon, rather brisk winds will die down as the morning progresses, despite plenty of clouds temperatures will rise into the 50s this afternoon
Thursday will still be mostly cloudy with a chance of light showers, temperatures will still be above normal reaching 50 degrees in many areas.
It should remain dry from Friday through early next week but temperatures will gradually fall with high temperatures on Friday in the upper 40s but only in the upper 30s on Monday.
As I mentioned yesterday that I would not be surprised to have an early March snowstorm and now the European model is indicating a storm developing for the Tuesday night into next Wednesday that would give our area a few inches of the white stuff while the American model is not showing any snow for our area so stay tuned.

The forecast: Today – Rain tapering off to showers and ending around noon, mild with a high in the low 50s.
Tonight – Mostly cloudy with a chance of a shower, low in the mid 30s.
